Notes:
1st edition. Information on this book from The Whole Science Fiction Data Base 6, ABE and WorldCat [OCLC 14580289, only].
- Announced, reviewed, and perhaps published during 1895.
- Volume 1 in The California Authors Series
--announced as such by the publisher, per The Critic 1895-11-02 p293, "Notes".
(WorldCat record OCLC 504590637 quotes "California Authors' Series" but the Publisher's Preface, p3-4, uses no apostrophe.)
- Certainly there was a paper-cover edition/format. A review by George Hamlin Fitch in "Some Books", SF Chronicle 1895-12-22 p14, concludes "(San Francisco: Doxey; price, paper, 50 cents)". That merely hints of a hardcover ed./format.
- "Two plates printed on both sides."
